30 dead large whales have been found since May 2015, along the Western Gulf of Alaska and southern shoreline of the Alaska Peninsula. Simultaneous increase in the number of large whale strandings in British Columbia, Canada, got the scientists on both ends to start an active investigation. The "Unusual Mortality Event" (UME) for large whales has been declared for the first time on Alaska. 

An unusually high number of large whale deaths has been reported across the Western Gulf of Alaska, in the regions around Kodiak Island, Afognak Island, Chirikof Island and the Semidi Islands, and along the southern shoreline of the Alaska Peninsula. 11 fin whales, 14 humpback whales, one gray whale and four unidentified whale species have been found dead in the Western Gulf of Alaska.

God said:

If you want peace in your life, you can have it. If you want storms, you can have them. You can have whatever you want.

You wanted Me. You got Me. Long before you knew the words for what you wanted, you wanted Me, just as I wanted you Who art My Very Self.

You know a simple word like peace. You know a longer word like equanimity that means the evenness of peace. You can bring to you whatever you want, long or short.

Maybe it takes more than asking in order for you to receive what you want. Maybe what you have to do is to decide what it is you want.

If you want equanimity, if you really do, if you really do choose peace over emotion and drama, the likelier it is that you will have it.

If you can have ups and downs, you certainly can have life on an even keel. If you like upset more than you like calmness, you can have upset. If you like calmness more than you like upset, you will have calmness. What do you want? What do you most desire? Whatever you call to yourself, you can have. It’s yours.

If you are sailing a sailboat across the Ocean Blue, you pull the sails in the direction you want to go. If you want the squalls, you lean one way. If you want the calms, you lean another way.

Here’s what you need to know: The calms are not doldrums. Have you perhaps thought they were? Have you perhaps thought that a life without sturm und drang would be stilted, boring, and ineffectual? No, not at all. Such a life will be enlivening and thrilling. Great wonders will come along with such a life.

The Comparison Game Begins…

The ego craves attention and loves to compare. The more attention it gets, the bigger it becomes. Comparing yourself to others, positively or negatively, is all about ego. Comparing creates separation. It is based on assumptions and perceptions. Your perceptions may not be accurate or true and may be totally ridiculous. The comparison game is played out in your mind.

Collectively, we are one. The minute you compare yourself to another person good or bad, along with what you perceive their struggles to be, creates separation. You have declared sides – you against them. The ego either provides a false sense of superiority, which you really don’t believe anyway, or an inferiority complex. At the end of the day, you crawl into bed, pull the covers up over your head and wake up in the morning – it’s still you!

The comparison game is mentally exhausting and stressful. As the saying goes, “People in glass houses should not throw stones.” Everyone has endured shortcomings and struggles. You are hanging on to a slippery slope when your ego has become so bold to declare what you perceive as a truth against another person.

By Andrea Schulman | Raise Your Vibration Today 

Do you ever feel like you live in a dangerous world, and you have to fight to get ahead? Do you ever feel like you don’t measure up? Though all of us want to feel happy and fulfilled, there are a few vibrational traps in the media today that often inspire feelings of fear, anger, and insecurity within us.

It’s good to point out first that in many ways, the world we live in today is a wonderful world. Most of us have a high degree of comfort, flexibility and freedom (as compared to people of the past). I’d go so far to say it’s the best time in history to be alive. There are many reasons for us to feel good about our lives and the world around us.

With that being said, we’re always evolving, and there is always room for improvement. Here are a few ways that today’s media can kill your vibe and some advice on how to rise above it:

MOVE BEYOND LACK This world has an unsurpassed amount of abundance available to you. Having a sense of lack in any area is not healthy. Break through these codes and the behaviors that keep you in the poorhouse. Expand your worldview and way of thinking and allow yourself to flow with nature and enjoy the blessings offered freely to you.

Return to your roots where life is simpler, less stressful and full of healthy food and family values. You have lost your sense of tribe. It is time to gather with like-minded souls and create communities in which you support and nurture each other. These communities can provide great wealth in food, knowledge and love. What better commodities can you think of?   Selamet! Ben 2

In human history we  have never been richer, had more, created more or inspired greater technological advances. And yet, we have never been so unhappy.

The World Happiness Report (2) shows people in developed continents such as Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand are less happy than they were in 2005. This is despite increased economic benefit. The Happy Planet index 2014 (3) shows that countries such as Indonesia are happier than any ‘developed’ nation.

It is all too obvious from these studies that wealth and riches do not bring happiness or fulfillment. There needs to be a change in how we perceive life and what we want from it. If following our current path of ongoing economic development in a bid to achieve personal and national happiness is not working, then what would work? What path can we follow? And how do we find it?

“Half the time you think your thinking, you’re actually listening.” ~ Terence McKenna

Recently someone asked me what we can do to move out of negative thinking and actions. First, determine if the negative thoughts are actually yours or not yours.

In my experience, very few if any of our negative thoughts are actually ours. The ones that are not ours may seem like ours because they are playing in our heads. The logic is that we are thinking them so why wouldn’t they be our thoughts? But thoughts can come that surely don’t feel like ours! When they do, we become dumbfounded, shake our head in disbelief, question our sanity and think – surely that isn’t me – I don’t feel that way!

So, when our own thoughts don’t resonate even for us, we have to wonder… Why are we having these thoughts? Where are they actually coming from?
